Diehard “wrestling” fans are probably going to be a bit more pissed off upon learning that World Wrestling Entertainment continues to focus more on the ‘E’ side of things.

WWE announced a video distribution partnership with Warner Brothers that allows the latter to have rights to distribute material from the Mat That Vince McMahon Built. The deal, which begins this New Year’s Day, will further push WWE into larger heights, as Warner Brothers now has the rights to release documentaries and pay-per-view events such as Wrestlemania and Summer Slam.

The two sides aren’t strangers to each other. Warner Brothers produced a Scooby Doo cartoon special centered around (what else?) ghosts and the like potentially spoiling Wrestlemania. The special aired on Cartoon Network earlier this year to good reviews while also setting the stage for a second Scooby Doo/WWE pairing, which is set for 2016. Rumors are strong that it will center around Hulk Hogan.

Fred, Velma and the crew aren’t the only cartoon who’ll pair up with John Cena, Triple H and Friends. A Flintstones/WWE pairing is in the works and is set to air early next year. Cena and McMahon will lend their voices to the cartoon as well a voice the WWE would care not to hear, that being one CM Punk.

Here’s an obvious fact for those longing for the sex and violence that defined WWE two decades ago: those days aren’t coming back, and this deal further proves it.
